Chapter 6: Selling Hair

Wang Guizhi stopped, looked Xu Jingsi up and down, and said in surprise, "Xu Jing?"

Xu Jingsi smiled and nodded, indicating that it was herself.

Wang Guizhi was wearing a small floral coat. She was thirty years old and was not slim anymore, but she was much thinner than Xu Jing, so she stood in front of her and felt very superior. But at this moment, she looked at Xu Jingsi's neatly combed ponytail in disbelief, and asked for a while, "Why are you doing so neatly today?"

Xu Jingsi smiled at her, "I'll leave first if something happens!" After that, she strides away!

"Ah...oh!" Wang Guizhi almost didn't react. Why did she feel so polite?

She looked at Xu Jingsi's back quietly, and her heart was filled with surprise. Is this Xu Jing? Why did she look like a different person? Didn't she roll up her sleeves and fight with Yu Sen last night?

Shouldn't she be a shrew?

But the person I saw today had no sign of a shrew. Although she was still the fat body, she exuded a calm feeling. The feeling was even better than Yu Sen's wife, Teacher He...

Thinking of this, Wang Guizhi was shocked by her thoughts... As the saying goes, it is easy to change the country and nature is hard to change. She doesn't believe that Xu Jing, a shrew, can turn into a flower!

Xu Jingsi didn't know what Wang Guizhi was thinking. She focused on the small shops on both sides of the road. After all, it was the city. Although it was only 1984, there were already many private shops on this street.

The barber shop, grain and oil shop, shoe repair... The small street is quite lively, but after this small street, it is a big road. I remember there are supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores, bookstores, guesthouses and so on...

"Girl, do you have a perm? You look good with a 20 yuan wallet!"

Just walked to the door of a barber shop, a woman in her thirties, with curly hair and fashionable clothes shouted to Xu Jingsi.

Xu Jingsi took out a pocket that didn't even have a penny and couldn't help but smile bitterly. She also wanted to be beautiful, but she also had to have beautiful capital!

She shook her head at the woman, "No need!"

Xu Jingsi had just walked two steps when the woman's shout came from behind, "Hey, do you sell your hair? I can give you fifteen dollars if you are as long as you!"

Hair can be sold for money!

Xu Jingsi's heart suddenly became thrilled, it was raining in time!

"Fifteen?" Xu Jingsi stopped, her heart pounding, but her tone was calm and calm, "You only gave it to fifteen. I offered me twenty at the department store two days ago, and I was reluctant to sell it!"

"I can't give it to you twenty," the woman's eyes shined with a gleam, "Can you cut it together? If you can cut it together, I'll give you eighteen!"

"Forget it!" Xu Jingsi pretended to be careless and pretended to turn around, "I have been raising it for so many years, and I have to cut it all together!"

"Hey, don't leave," the woman stepped forward and stopped her, "How much did you say?"

Xu Jingsi thought for a while, "If it's all the roots, it will cost at least twenty-two yuan!"

If you can ask for two extra pieces, it’s almost two kilograms of meat!

"Twenty!" the woman gritted her teeth, "I've left you a little more, I can't get more. To be honest, I can only earn you five dollars!"

Xu Jingsi pretended to be entangled for a long time and finally agreed!

Sitting on the chair in the barber shop, Xu Jingsi looked at the long black hair in the mirror, feeling both reluctant and guilty. She had to eat so much good things to raise so well, but she had to exchange her hair for money as soon as she arrived.

The woman who was cutting her hair combed her hair, tied it again, then grabbed a handful of hair, and cut it out with a crack and a cut!

Xu Jingsi's heart also skipped a beat and said to herself, Girl, I'm sorry for you, I have to have a meal, I can't be as scoundrel as you, right!

As her long hair was cut off, the face of the person in the mirror gradually changed. Xu Jing used to be sarcastic, looking mean and unreasonable, but now the expression on her face softened. Xu Jingsi suddenly realized that this girl was not ugly, with her willow eyebrows, double eyelids, big eyes... her skin was dry, and she looked very unhealthy and not energetic!

"Yeah, you're quite suitable for short hair. You're much more energetic than before. I'll repair it for you or give you a fashionable hairstyle?"

Xu Jingsi thought, fashionable doesn’t cost money!

“Just be tidy.”

"Okay!"

The hair was repaired quickly, and Xu Jingsi left with twenty yuan in her pocket. Holding the twenty yuan, she felt guilty in her heart... She silently told herself, "If you don't want to do it, you won't want to do it!"

Xu Jingsi walked along the way and looked around. She asked about hotels, grain stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, department stores, and even Xinhua Bookstores, but she had no intention of asking for anyone!

She didn't know how many roads she had walked, but she only knew that she had asked about twenty stores. At noon, she stayed in a small noodle restaurant. In the afternoon, she planned to go to the market to check it out. Not to mention working hard, she would do it without hesitation even if she was cleaning!

The boss's wife brought it to her. She picked up the noodles and ate it slowly. A bowl of chicken noodles was 80 cents, but the ingredients were quite good and the taste was good. It not only satisfies her taste buds, but also fills her stomach!

There were not many people eating in the noodle restaurant. She looked outside and found that the location was not very good. There was no factory or school here, except for a guesthouse next to it... But the couple who opened the noodle restaurant looked like they were 60 years old. They were all this age, and the business was almost the same...

As she thought about it, Xu Jingsi suddenly laughed at herself. She was almost a problem with eating now, and she still had this time to worry about others!

To be honest, she regretted not asking for the twenty dollars from Qiao Yu last night. If she wanted it, plus the twenty dollars she had in her hand, would she be able to set up a small stall selling roujiamo?

There is a morning market on the old street north of the machinery factory. When she came, she passed by there. There were quite a lot of people. There were fried dough sticks, tofu brains, pancakes, porridge and soy milk, and vegetables. I heard that this is still a late market, and it started around four o'clock, but it was not as lively as the morning market.

Twenty or thirty dollars are enough to buy an old tricycle, and you can make it by buying some other things... She likes food, studies food, and can also make it. Roujiamo is the simplest.
